The hosting service that I am using emailed me and said that it was going to migrate to a new location for “a more advanced infrastructure will ensure better performance and reliability for your hosted services.” I don’t understand the nitty gritty, but the server migration will start on October 10th 2024, at 5:00 PM CST (5:00 PM MST).
“Server migrations can take anywhere from a couple of hours to five days, depending on the number and size of the accounts on the server.”
Since they didn’t give me a more narrowed timeframe, I’m going to play it safe and assume that it will take the full five days. Which means during those five days I will not be able to update my website in any way, as any updates will be lost after the migration is complete.
“We ask that you don’t make major changes if possible while the server migration is taking place. It’s possible that your site may have already been migrated over and you are making changes to the old server, which would get lost once the server goes offline. Making changes during this period could lead to data loss or service disruption, so we kindly request your cooperation in this matter.”
I’m still hoping to post an average of four updates per week, but I will likely have to post several chapters in one or two day as opposed to spreading it out throughout the week as usual.
